As long as DeSantis is Governor of Florida, I will never moved there
I agree... I crossed off the Florida cities.
Not worth moving here anyways, lots of Floridians are moving out including me. Florida is not a high-wage state like NY or Mass and every city has exploded in rent, and home insurance is stupidly expensive and becuase of Desantis and his deals, motor insurance is expensive and increased in price because of him, electricity is expensive and increased in price because of him. Florida also has the highest rate of Inflation out of any state. Cant even afford a home in my own home town, maybe 5-6 years ago it felt possible, but its not happening. Changing careers and getting tf out of here ,somewhere i can afford to be alive and get payed the same or better. Its gotten stupidly hot and extremely overcrowded during tourist season anyways.
As long as the current governor is in Florida I just can't consider it a retirement destination. Many cities in the South where they are currently trying to restrict our vote. I think we need to look at the political situation where you make your choice.
Yes, Yes. Totally Agree. Stay out of Florida.
Or get a license and join Americans!
That because they know the power is in numbers, so they trying too do anything too stop our progress and too have a stronger communities with opportunities and leadership
I fully agree with you. Due to the politics of Florida, I will have to pass on any option in that state and that is disheartening, because I love their state tax structure.
Amen! I’m saying no to FL and TX
Need to take into account politics and racism in these videos too.
Exactly
Some of the cities are something to think about, but Florida ia out of the question with what's going on there with that goofy governor
As someone who lives in the Myrtle Beach area, I have no idea how it could be on a list for African Americans. How was this list compiled? No regard for political climate or voting rights, etc. etc.????
Anywhere but Florida
😂😂😂
Which cities are friendly to elderly black retirees?
1st thought that comes to my mind I’d like to LIVE somewhere where race relations are conducive to me feeling comfortable being there 2nd on the list would be reasonably priced housing and cost of living in general and I’m not to keen on living anywhere where flooding is or will be within the next couple decades
💯
Housing affordability in Sarasota or Tampa, FL? Black Excellence hasn't been here recently. Rents are up 31% in the last year.
You might be absolutely right, Covid has turned affordability upside down! That's the problem across the US.
@@BlackExcellenceMedia perhaps video on south africa, and or costa rica
@@ladyofspa would not recommend South Africa 😬
This brother started with DeSatins Florida and went to Tennessee.. clearly this man does not read about Black people in USA .. Dam smh.
Not retiring to any place subject to hurricanes or tornadoes every year. I am too old to be rebuilding.
We heard that!
No crime statistics, median price of homes, barely mentioned anything about medical care costs 🤦🏾♂️
Dang do something for yourself
One you- tuber claims crime is a big problem in Myrtle Beach! As a result the area has gone down, alot of home robberies! You must own a pistol for protection!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VID!!!! I was just talking about this TODAY!!!
TFS! In the next iteration of the list maybe consider including political/social climate as a measure.
Bet!
I am surprised and excited at the same time to see Sarasota, FL. on the list. I was told about 5 years ago about how racist the area is. I love diversity but have lived my entire adult life in very low (3%percentage) diverse areas (mostly white). I realize that negative energy can be found anywhere, but I was told Sarasota is openly uncomfortable for people of African descent. I am a 56-year-old professional from the midwest looking to move somewhere where I can plant my roots. Being near that beautiful beach could be life-changing! Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thank you!
Florida is the south, and people are creatures of habit. Monkey see monkey doo. So expect it to be religious Bible belt and racism, old remnants of the Confederacy and slavery. There's a reason 'the great migration' happened in US history for black people .
A number of places he mentioned have high crime rates!
I'm surprised and Sarasota made it to the bus I live between Tampa and Sarasota and I believe Sarasota is racist. So not sure how and why it made the list
Move to Punta Cana, DR
Good job. Thanks for sharing this. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great job on the video! That’s why I love your channel!
Thank you!!!
Raleigh, Myrtle Beach and Winston-Salem, NC, Savannah, GA, Nashville, TN. I Would to visit and explore these cities, so I choose one for retirement.
Love the video and information.
Thanks so much!
As a black woman 👩 I d like to retire in a community that is respectable of all people. I prefer a diverse community. I'm not hung up on black, all black.
you'll never live in an all black city in America so you don't have to worry about that 🤷🏽♀️
As long as their are hurricanes and De Santis I would never move to Florida.
Florida is not a good place to retire. I lived there and rent has doubled in less than 5 years. Florida is very expensive and I lived in Tampa. If you don't bring in 3,000 a month you will struggle badly.
My major concern is having access to transportation since I do not own a car. Uber & Lyft are the few retirement options for local transportation in the South.
What a great disappointment! as I was looking to relocate to a warmer climate.
I pray future plans are implemented to have more extensive bus & even trolleys throughout the South & west to accommodate thousands!!
Great list. Would love to see one for places outside the U.S.
he did a video like two months ago. It's in his archive.
@@antbanks415 Thanks. Knowing me, I probably watched it too.

Never retiring in this country. Looking at Portugal, Mexico, and Costa Rica
@@Trickyricky293ummm maybe hows healthcare in costa rica I wonder...
Both my uncle and grandmother retired in Tucson, surprised it made the list... glad it did, because if we could get more US out there... I'd be inclined to move there as well.
Tell us more? Why you like.
Arizona is great! If you want to live there you should ❤
You failed to take into account the crime! All seniors are very concerned about crime! Most of the places you’ve mentioned have high crime rates
Especially Tucson!!!!
Tucson, AZ
Tucson is beautiful!
Nashville, TN, Raleigh, NC or Tucson, AZ
Awesome video
Appreciate it!
You have to create an opportunity to build black wealth
Add voting rights and representation to the criteria and most of these places fall off the list.
I see alot of brainwashed folks in these comments. How are your voting rights being taken away. Is it because conservatives want voter IDs? You must be OK with illegal immigrants voting.
Agree!
I know that there are pockets of " Flood Zones" in South Carolina. Does anyone know of Flood areas to be avoided in Popular retirement states??? Would appreciate input.
Hello King I would decide between Texas and Myrtle Beach and Winston Salem.
Good picks!
I thought wiston salem has high crime.No?
Nice video, but it would be nice to have a map overlay. Not everyone passed geography :-).
The states of S Carolina and Georgia are great places
Myrtle Beach
Tampa, FL
Myrtle Beach , SC
Nashville , TN
Sarasota , FL
Raleigh, NC
Savannah, GA
Tucson , AZ
Grand Prairie, TX
Charlottesville, VA
Winston-Salem, NC
None I have lived in or have family in at least 5 of those places the others are not desirable to me.
Ameruca us starting to become very scary for Blacks and children
These are big towns to me
I would like to try Myrtle Beach South Carolina
It's great
I think we should all retire in Africa. Move as many family members there as we can and start over. Africa is rising again. 54 countries to choose from.
would not recommend moving to Africa...😬😬😬 it's rough out there and not safe, kidnapping is high risk there as an American especially in West Africa
@@ambientacademy Americans should build our own communities their. If America wants to give us reparations, give us money to repatriate to Africa. Build our own communities but integrate into the community as well. We can help build the Africa we want. The Africa the Africans want and the world needs.
Everyone is moving to Tampa Bay it's great
No more 5? We doing “the 10” NOw!? I’m cool with that…
The people asked, we listened :) thanks for watching, appreciate you!
In none of those cities, with climate change, the states like Florida and Texas are at higher risk of storm damage, so insurance costs would be higher. Also, there needs to be more mention of healthcare. Neither Texas nor Florida is known for great healthcare. Have you looked into Vancouver, Washington?
lol Tucson sucks.
No way for african american families. You will feel isolated and not know any african americans. But if you want to go back in time to a free day. Well the desert is all around. You can rediscover your spiritual self. But for african american families. No way. I lived there for 10 years . I judge places by racism. I would say it's neutral as far as racism. With some here and there. Florida would be a little more racist I think from my experience. Well a mixed bag. But Florida is pretty racist. Colorado so far has been the best experience for my family as far as racism experiences. I feel safe walking around. And never experience it here . I know it exists here but it's like Sweden or Holland. It seems more curiosity than racism.
Sarasota, FL is on this list? This place has a bad reputation as being a city where blacks must represent themselves in a manner that is out of character. Try the other places on this list. It was not a good vacation spot for my family. However, black excellence is my best choice for moving advice.
These cities are ok but my recommendation for AA retirees are
Boise ID
Rochester MN
Buffalo NY
Winston Salem NC
Kearny Neb
Columbus OH
OKC OK
Billings MT
Fresno CA
Lexington KY
How do you define AA?
NO AA is moving to Boise, Buffalo, Kearny or Billings... We want a place where there's more of us! In the area.
Pretty depressed a few of those
Fresno? High crime and it sucks!!!
@Solomon Humphries There's a large AA population in Buffalo, and the cost of living, including housing, is reasonable.
FLORIDA IS A NO FOR ME TOO
You mean, Oklahoma Alabama and Pennsylvania are not on here?
I find it offensive you added the words Black, as Opposed just People. But if there was a channel that said White People retire here, you’d be mad as hell. Am I right? Yes. You can retire Anywhere you Like under 1,200 a month. That’s a good working figure! ❤
No, speaking for myself, I wouldn't be mad if they said White people retire here. You just demonstrated how little you know about racial situations in America. For instance, I'm very happy to know that the Governor of Florida is trying to make it harder for Blacks to vote or eradicate certain books from being taught in History classes, because it would keep me from making the mistake of moving somewhere I'm not wanted.
Calm down poster, anti-black racism is real and has to be a factor in a black person’s relocation decisions.
@@pls5201
You know what's laughable, I don't see a single predominantly black city on the list. Why is that if you're so concerned about racism? It's just like when you go through black neighborhoods and you see all those burglar bars. Those burglars aren't there to keep white people out. Black people know exactly who commits violent crimes. It's other black people.
If you find it offensive, why did you click to open? The title is the best places for African Americans to retire.
Black Americans! Not African Americans. You don't say European Americans.
Watch this discussion and give us your thoughts: ua-cam.com/video/bwPj--YMmPU/v-deo.html
Nobody black is moving to the South
Obviously so. Ever heard of Atlanta? Even though I myself could care less to move to Atlanta.
Why did you decide to wake up and lie today?
@@ZJtheLegend 😂😂😂😂
Lmao come down to texas...
Actually there are more blacks in the southern region of the United States than anywhere else.
